Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to medical devices implantable in a mammal, such as coronary stents and to a method and system for applying and adhering drugs to the surface of medical devices using gas cluster ion beam technology and/or monomer ion beam technology.
  • the invention can also be used with implantable prostheses,
  • a coronary stent is an implantable medical device that is used in combination with balloon angioplasty.
  • Balloon angioplasty is a procedure used to treat coronary atherosclerosis. Balloon angioplasty compresses built-up plaque against the walls of the blocked artery by the inflation of a balloon at the tip of a catheter inserted into the artery during the angioplasty procedure, Unfortunately, the body's response to this procedure often includes thrombosis or blood clotting and the formation of scar tissue or other trauma-induced tissue reactions at the treatment site.
  • Statistics show that restenosis or renarrowing of the artery by scar tissue after balloon angioplasty occurs in up to 35 percent of the treated patients within only six months after these procedures, leading to severe complications in many patients.
  • a coronary stent To reduce restenosis, cardiologists are now often placing a small metal tubular devices of various forms, such as wire mesh or expandable metal, called a coronary stent at the site of blockage during balloon angioplasty. The goal is to have the stent act as a scaffold to keep the coronary artery open after the removal of the balloon.
  • Coronary restenotic complications associated with stents occur in 16 to 22 percent of all cases within six months after insertion of the stent and are believed to be caused by many factors acting alone or in combination. These complications could be reduced by several type of drugs introduced locally at the site of stent implantation. Because of the substantial financial costs associated with treating the complications of restenosis, such as catheterization, restenting, intensive care, etc., a reduction in restenosis rates would save money and reduce patient suffering.
  • WO-A-02/083039 discloses a stent of variable surface area as determined by stent struts the stent can have a variable surface area per unit length which accommodates a therapeutic agent. A patterned distribution of therapeutic agent can be provided throughout the stent The stent can have an increased level of therapeutic agent near an end of the stent.
  • a decreased level of therapeutic agent can be provided near an end of one embodiment of a stent.
  • Indentations can be provided at the surface of the stent with therapeutic agent disposed therein.
  • the stent can be cut with struts of variable thickness to provide the variable stent surface area
  • FEHSENFELD P ET AL "Production of radioactive stents" NACHRICHTEN FORSCHUNGSZENTRUM KARLSRUHE FORSCHUNGSZENTRUM KARLAHE GERMANY, vol. 32. no 1-2, 2000, pages 81-86.
  • XP002417713 ISSN: 0948-0919 discloses the production of radioactive stents Different methods of production are considered including a method for ion implantation of the isotope P-32 on to the surface of the stents in order to prevent restenosis.
  • EP-A-0 875 218 discloses a medicated prosthesis, such as a stent, to be deployed in a human vessel
  • a metallic stent has a plurality of pores in the metal which are loaded with medication.
  • the medication in the stent dissipates into the tissue of the vasculature proximate the stent.
  • the stent may be formed from a porous metal in the form of a wire, tube, or metal sheet.
  • VAST Vaso-Absorbab!c Stent
  • PAL Photoatherolytic
  • the VAST device is used post cardiovascular intervention to: a) deliver a series of drugs to prevent cell proliferation leading to restenosis: and, (b) maintain the patency of the treated vessel and prevent plastic recoil of the vessel by providing support for the vessel wall: and c) deliver and maintain a level of photosensitizer to the treatment site which inhibits smooth muscle cell proliferation and, when activated by light energy, induces cell lysis.
  • the photosensitizer inhibits smooth muscle cell proliferation and, thus, minimizes or eliminates the possibility of re-stenosis.
  • the photosensitizer is then illuminated at the end of this period, thereby lysing the atheromatous plaque and smooth muscles,
  • a drug delivery system as specified in claim 1
  • a mammal implantable medical device as specified in claim 5.
  • the present invention is directed to the use of gas cluster ion-beam (GCIB) surface modification and/or monomer ion beam surface modification to implant, apply, or adhere various drug molecules directly into or onto the surface of a stent or other medical device thereby eliminating the need for a polymer or any other binding agent This will prevent the problem of toxicity and dire damage caused by transportation of delaminated polymeric material throughout the body. Further, unlike other prior art stents that load the stent material itself, the optimal dosage of the drug may be applied or adhered.
  • GCIB gas cluster ion-beam
  • the application of the drug is achieved through the use of GCIB technology and/or monomer ion beam technology
  • the application of the drug is accomplished by several methods:
  • GCIB gas cluster ion beam
  • monomer ion beam surface modification such as described above will reduce complications, lead to genuine cost savings and an improvement in patient quality of life, and overcome prior problems of thrombosis and restenosis.
  • Beams of energetic ions, electrically charged atoms or molecules accelerated through high voltages under vacuum, are widely utilized to form semiconductor device junctions, to smooth surfaces by sputtering, and to enhance the properties of thin films.
  • these same beams of energetic ions are utilized for the applying and adhering drugs to a surface of a medical device, such as a coronary stent.
  • gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) processing is utilized.
  • Gas cluster ions are formed from large numbers of weakly bound atoms or molecules sharing common electrical charges and accelerated together through high voltages to have high total energies. Cluster ions disintegrate upon impact and the total energy of the cluster is shared among the constituent atoms. Because of this energy sharing, the atoms are individually much less energetic than the case of conventional ions or ions not clustered together and, as a result, the atoms penetrate to much shorter depths.
  • Surface sputtering effects are orders of magnitude stronger than corresponding effects produced by conventional ions, thereby making important microscale surface effects possible that are not possible in any other way.
  • Patent 5,459,326 that such individual atoms are not energetic enough to significantly penetrate a surface to cause the residual sub-surface damage typically associated with plasma polishing. Nevertheless, the clusters themselves are sufficiently energetic (some thousands of electron volts) to effectively etch, smooth, or clean hard surfaces.
  • the energies of individual atoms within a gas cluster ion are very small, typically a few eV, the atoms penetrate through only a few atomic layers, at most, of a target surface during impact.
  • This shallow penetration of the impacting atoms means all of the energy carried by the entire cluster ion is consequently dissipated in an extremely small volume in the top surface layer during a period on the order of 10-12 seconds (i.e. one picosecond).
  • This is different from the case of ion implantation which is normally done with conventional monomer ions and where the intent is to penetrate into the material, sometimes penetrating several thousand angstroms, to produce changes in the surface properties of the material.
  • the deposited energy density at the impact site is far greater than in the case of bombardment by conventional monomer ions.
  • FIG. 1 of the drawings shows the gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) processor 100 of this invention utilized for applying or adhering drugs to the surface of a coronary stent 10,
  • the processor 100 is made up of a vacuum vessel 102 which is divided into three communicating chambers, a source chamber 104, an ionization/acceleration chamber 106, and a processing chamber 108 which includes therein a uniquely designed workpiece holder 150 capable of positioning the medical device for uniform GCIB bombardment and drug application by a gas cluster ion beam.
  • the three chambers are evacuated to suitable operating pressures by vacuum pumping systems 146a, 146b, and 146c, respectively.
  • a condensable source gas 112 (for example argon or N2) stored in a cylinder 111 is admitted under pressure through gas metering valve 113 and gas feed tube 114 into stagnation chamber 116 and is ejected into the substantially lower pressure vacuum through a properly shaped nozzle 110, resulting in a supersonic gas jet 118, Cooling, which results from the expansion in the jet, causes a portion of the gas jet 118 to condense into clusters, each consisting of from several to several thousand weakly bound atoms or molecules.
  • a gas skimmer aperture 120 partially separates the gas molecules that have not condensed into a cluster jet from the cluster jet so as to minimize pressure in the downstream regions where such higher pressures would be detrimental (e.g., ionizer 122, high voltage electrodes 126, and process chamber 108).
  • Suitable condensable source gases 112 include, but are not necessarily limited to argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen.
  • the ionizer 122 is typically an electron impact ionizer that produces thermoelectrons from one or more incandescent filaments 124 and accelerates and directs the electrons causing them to collide with the gas clusters in the gas jet 118, where the jet passes through the ionizer 122.
  • the electron impact ejects electrons from the clusters, causing a portion the clusters to become positively ionized.
  • a set of suitably biased high voltage electrodes 126 extracts the cluster ions from the ionizer 122, forming a beam, then accelerates the cluster ions to a desired energy (typically from 1 keV to several tens of keV) and focuses them to form a GCIB 128 having an initial trajectory 154,
  • Filament power supply 136 provides voltage V F to heat the ionizer filament 124.
  • Anode power supply 134 provides voltage V A to accelerate thermoelectrons emitted from filament 124 to cause them to bombard the cluster containing gas jet 118 to produce ions.
  • Extraction power supply 138 provides voltage V E to bias a high voltage electrode to extract ions from the ionizing region of ionizer 122 and to form a GCIB 128.
  • Accelerator power supply 140 provides voltage V Acc to bias a high voltage electrode with respect to the ionizer 122 so as to result in a total GCIB acceleration energy equal to V Acc electron volts (eV).
  • One or more lens power supplies (142 and 144, for example) may be provided to bias high voltage electrodes with potentials (V L1 and V L2 for example) to focus the GCIB 128.
  • a medical device 10, such as a coronary stent, to be processed by the GCIB processor 100 is held on a workpiece holder 150, and disposed in the path of the GCIB 128 for irradiation.
  • the present invention may be utilized with medical devices composed of a variety of materials, such as metal, polyethylene, ceramic, or combinations thereof
  • the workpiece holder 150 is designed in a manner set forth below to manipulate the stent 10 in a specific way,
  • stent surfaces that are non-planar must remain oriented within a specific angle tolerance with respect to the normal beam incidence to obtain paramount effect to the stent surfaces utilizing GCIB.
  • any stent 10 containing surfaces that would be exposed to the process beam at angles of greater than +/-15 degrees from normal incidence may require manipulation, More specifically, when applying GCIB to a coronary stent 10, the workpiece holder 150 is rotated and articulated by a mechanism 152 located at the end of the GCIB processor 100, The articulation/rotation mechanism 152 preferably permits 360 degrees of device rotation about longitudinal axis 154 and sufficient device articulation about an axis 156 perpendicular to axis 154 to maintain the stent's surface to within +/-15 degrees from normal beam incidence.
  • a scanning system may be desirable to produce uniform smoothness.
  • two pairs of orthogonally oriented electrostatic scan plates 130 and 132 may be utilized to produce a raster or other scanning pattern over an extended processing area.
  • a scan generator 156 provides X-axis and Y-axis scanning signal voltages to the pairs of scan plates 130 and 132 through lead pairs 158 and 160 respectively.
  • the scanning signal voltages are commonly triangular waves of different frequencies that cause the GCIB 128 to be converted into a scanned GCIB 148, which scans the entire surface of the stent 10.
  • the diameter of the beam at the stent's surface can be set by selecting the voltages (V L1 and/or V L2 ) of one or more lens power supplies (142 and 144 shown for example) to provide the desired beam diameter at the workpiece.
  • the surface of the medical device is irradiated with the gas cluster ion beam prior to the deposition of any drug on the surface thereof.
  • This will remove any contaminants and oxide layers from the stent surface rendering the surface electrically active and capable of attracting and bonding drug molecules that are then introduced to the surface,
  • One or more types of drugs are deposited upon surface through vapor phase deposition or by introducing a liquid form of the drug onto the surface.
  • the liquid form of the drug is in solution with a volatile solvent thereby requiring the solvent to be evaporated. As the formed mechanical bonds are broken over time, the drug is slowly released to the site of stent implantation.
  • drugs may be useful at the site of contact between the medical device and the in vivo environment.
  • drugs such as anti-coagulants, anti-prolifics, antibiotics, immune-supressing agents, vasodilators, anti-thrombotic substances, anti-platelet substances, and cholesterol reducing agents may reduce instances af restenosis when diffused into the blood vessel wall after insertion of the stent.
  • GCIB processing is utilized to impact the surface with energetic clusters thus implanting and forming a mechanical bond to the drug molecules of the medicine that had been applied in liquid form to coat the stent surface; or to implant the drug molecules of the electrostatically coated medicine in powder form to the stent surface in the same manner described above.
  • the impact energy of the gas clusters results in a portion of the deposited drug molecules to form a carbon matrix at the surface. As the carbon matrix is formed, the remaining drug molecules become embedded within the interstices of the matrix. Over time, these drug molecules diffuse through the matrix and are released at the contact site between the stent and the blood vessel wall thereby continuously providing medication to the site.
  • Figure 3 shows a stent before GCIB treatment with gross surface micro-roughness on a strut edge.
  • the surface roughness measured an R a of 113 angstroms and an R RMS of 148 angstroms. These irregularities highlight the surface condition at the cellular level where thrombosis begins.
  • Figure 4 shows a stent after GCIB processing where the surface micro-roughness has been eliminated without any measurable physical or structural change to the integrity of the stent itself,
  • the post-GCIB surface roughness measured an R a of 19 angstroms and an R RMS of 25 angstroms.
  • GCIB processing also provides the added benefit of smoothing the surface of the medical device while applying/adhering the drug to the surface.
  • Non-smooth surfaces may snare fibrinogen, platelets, and other matter further promoting stenosis to occur.
  • monomer ion beam implantation is be used with the present invention when significant penetration of the drug into the surface of the medical device is desired. Because of the high energies associated with the individual atoms, implantation at increased depths may be achieved- As can be seen in Figure 5 , in a vacuum chamber 505, an ion source material 500, such as boron trifluoride for boron ions, is extracted from; a plasma chamber 502 by electrostatic means, and focussed and accelerated to form an ion beam 507.
  • a mass analysis device 501 such as a dipole sector magnet selects only the desired ion species, chosen to provide the desired chemical or physical effect upon implantation. The selected species is accelerated 503 to an energy chosen to give a very specific implant depth profile and irradiated into the surface of the stent 10 or other medical device held in place by the workpiece holder 150.
  • one or more drugs are deposited upon a surface of the medical device and the medical device is positioned within the path of the monomer ion beam such that the surface having the drug deposited thereon will be irradiated during processing More particularly, the workpiece holder described above is utilized due to the inherently non-planar design of the stent
